Why read it?
1 author picked The Ancient Mariners as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
OK.OK. I’m only supposed to recommend one book per slot, but really, these 22 volumes truly work as a set, depending on the specifics that hold your interest.
The books in this series are expertly edited and researched, so they appear to have come from one pen. (I went through six of them.) They are all highly informative and approachable, as in a child can read them, but they don’t talk down to adults doing serious research.
The books have a wonderful “you are there” quality, and I loved them.
From Isabel's list on how pirates lived and what they valued.
